Non-bilayer lipids and biological fusion intermediates

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1996
Disparate biological fusion reactions and fusion of purely lipid bilayers are similarly influenced by 'non-bilayer' lipids (lipids which do not form lipid bilayers in water by themselves). Lipid composition of membranes affects biological fusion at a stage downstream of activation of fusion proteins and prior to fusion pore formation.

Photoinduced Fusion of Lipid Bilayer Membranes

Langmuir, 2017
We have developed a novel system for photocontrol of the fusion of lipid vesicles through the use of a photosensitive surfactant containing an azobenzene moiety (AzoTAB). Real-time microscopic observations clarified a change in both the surface area and internal volume of vesicles during fusion. We also determined the optimal cholesterol concentrations

Fusion of liposomes with planar lipid bilayers

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1980
The fusion of liposomes with planar lipid bilayers was monitored by two different methods. (a) Liposomes consisting of phospholipids and cholesterol were added to the aqueous phase bathing the cholesterol-deficient planar lipid bilayers in the presence of nystatin.

Studying membrane fusion using supported lipid bilayers on superparamagnetic beads

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2023
The fusion between two lipid membranes is a ubiquitous mechanism in cell traffic and pathogens invasion. Yet it is not well understood how two distinct bilayers overcome the energy barriers towards fusion and reorganize themselves to form a unique continuous bilayer.

Mimicking Influenza Virus Fusion Using Supported Lipid Bilayers

Langmuir, 2014
Influenza virus infection is a serious public health problem in the world, and understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in viral replication is crucial. In this paper, we used a minimalist approach based on a lipid bilayer supported on mica, which we imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a physiological buffer, to analyze the different ...
